The form serialize() method throws an error when an input field's name attribute is 'name': ex:
<form id='crRunForm' method="PUT">
<input type="text" name="code"/>
<input type="text" name="name"/>
</form>

.....

function bldRequestXML(formId) {[[BR]]
var params ='''$("#"+formId).serialize()'''; <--throws error

....
This happens in (minified) version: 1.3.2, 1.4.2, and 1.5.1

Here is the stack trace from 1.5.1:
